Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox
Read Speed 300Mb/s
Weight 2.4 ounces
Dimensions 5.5 x 3 x 2 inches
Capacity 1TB
This Seagate external hard drive for Xbox series X, Mac OS and PC is sleek in design with speeds up to 480MBs. It’s perfect on the go because you don’t need an AC adapter, No software required – just plug n play from your gaming console or computer anywhere there’s internet access; it even works when offline too so load times aren’t gonna slow us down any time soon (or ever). We also like that this little guy comes equipped both USB 3 reusable connection ports as well as 2 low speed connectors which means we can connect more devices without needing another power source nearby.
WD 4TB Elements
Read Speed 480Mb/s
Weight 0.5 lbs
Dimensions 4.4 x 3.2 x 0.83 inches
Capacity 4TB
The difference between the Seagate expansion and WD’s 5,400 rpm hard drive is that while it has a shorter height but thicker width (and thusly weighs more), both also have lower speeds than their counterparts. The faster model reaching 7200rpm offers better performance with its power consumption; however, this comes at an expense of size which may make some users concerned about fitting such large components into small spaces like laptops or desktops for example – where speed should be less important since data isn’t being uploaded onto these devices daily anyway! With safety encryption preinstalled within SmartWare Pro–which costs extra if you want access beyond the protection, period-we’ve found.

Weight 2 lbs
Dimensions 5.5 x 1.9 x 6.7 inches
Capacity 8TB
The larger the drive, the more games you can store.
